Based in Singapore, Harvey Goldstein has served as the chairman of Harvest International, Inc., for nearly 30 years. With over 50 years of experience in international and domestic business, Harvey Goldstein previously served as a founding shareholder and director of Resources Management International, Inc., a firm that enables developing countries in Southeast Asia to grow through technology and management training, in Indonesia. Before entering his current profession, Harvey Goldstein worked in scientific engineering and the development of technology, where he helped create a testing facility used by NASA for its early Nimbus satellites.

The Nimbus program, which dates back to 1964, used its satellites to monitor and observe cloud conditions both day and night, acting as one of the first weather satellites. Data was gathered from around the world, using radiometers, a Coastal Zone Color Scanner, and ozone mappers to track the chemistry and temperatures of the atmosphere and monitor the world’s ice and seas as well as radiation levels. The Nimbus satellite series ran for 14 years and included eight different models, all of which were weather satellites with slightly different objectives, among them studying the characteristics of the atmosphere, oceans, and earth’s heat balance, monitoring pollution, measuring ozone levels and atmospheric water vapor, and enabling weather analysis. Nimbus satellites set the standards for modern weather and atmospheric data collection.
